If they continue on the Huffman path, the unpaid labour pool and users will likely abandon it. I think they would find a cooperative community if they did that. If the board of Reddit were smart and independent, they would replace Huffman and open negotiations with developers to roll in these changes in a gentler, slower fashion with goodwill at the forefront of their efforts. He has deliberately induced a panic situation and pissed of his unpaid workers, two HUGE mistakes he could easily undo except for what appears to be his ego. Steve Huffman turns out to be a liar and jerk who acts as though the mafia has been funding Reddit so far and he HAS to get them their money by THIS THURSDAY or he’ll be wearing cement shoes in Hudson Bay. So if you piss them off enough, they’ll leave and the site will collapse.ģ. Reddit exists because of Steve Huffman, but it has succeeded because of unpaid labour by moderators and posters, and they will continue to get nothing out of this.

Reddit wants too much money, too quickly for developers to react.Ģ.
